This distance is continuously varying as the two planets orbit the Sun.
The minimum distance is about 0.5 au.
That's because the (average) distance of Earth from the Sun is 1 au and
the (average) distance of Mars from the Sun is 1.52 au.
The Earth is 1 AU from the Sun while Mars is 1.52 AU from the Sun so the distance from Earth to Mars varies from 1.52-1 to 1.52+1 AU, which is quite a range. To put AUs into miles multiply by 93,000,000.
Earth is 1 AU from the Sun. There is no planet at an orbit of 2.5 AU. (Mars orbits at 1.5 AU and Jupiter at 5.2 AU).
Mars is the closest. Mars orbital period is 687 days. Earth, as we all know, is 365 days. The next planet out, Jupiter, revolves around the Sun in 12 years. Saturn for information takes almost 30 years. Saturn
If I may interpret your question: 1 astronomical unit is the average distance from the sun to Earth = roughly 93,000,000 miles. The average Mars-Sun distance is about 1.52 AU, so Mars is 1.52 X 93,000,000 = 141,360,000 miles from the sun.
It varies with each planet's position in its orbit. Mars is farther out from the Sun, and orbits more slowly than the Earth does. At the "conjunction", when the two planets are closest together, they are about .5 AU apart. But 8 months later, when Earth has raced ahead and is now on the opposite side of the Sun from Mars, the distance is about 1.5 AU.

The Earth and Jupiter. Earth is about 0.5 AU from Mars, whereas Jupiter is about 3.5 AU.
Phobos orbits Mars. So the distance between Earth and Phobos is essentially the same as the distance between Earth and Mars. This distance varies from 3-1 AU (astronomical units) to 3+1 AU. One AU is about 93 million miles.

Mars orbits beyond Earth, so it is more than 1 AU from the sun.

Earth is approximately 1 astronomical unit (AU) away from the sun.
